re: Lucy Sparrow 8 Till Late NY solo show, by Elephants and Castles on Jun 14, 2017 3:51:59 GMT 1, Hello all, I've been working on the Lucy Sparrow show in NY these past weeks and it's been the most exciting experience and show I have been involved with for a long time.
I know in the UK this has been a bit under the radar but you should all check the press out, do a google search for "Lucy Sparrow NY".
Just to give you a bit of info, Lucy worked with the Standard Highline Hotel artist program ( others in the program, KAWS, Jose Parla, Ryan McGinness, Buffmonster ) on creating an authentic NY Deli / Bodega with over 9000 hand painted and hand sewn felt items.
Just some of the moments that have made this show so special, Jeffrey Dietch coming back in 3 times each time with a bigger smile on his face...then bringing in the entire Whitney Museum staff.
The director of NY public arts saying how fresh and exciting the install was and bringing in her entire office.
Lines of people forming around 1 block and waiting 2 hrs to get into the install.
NY Channel 4 news filming the install and Lucy and the news segment being displayed in all the Yellow Cabs for the day and on the Jumbo news screen in Time Square. NY Times, Artnet, Instagram and Facebook have all come in and filmed / reviewed which drove more than 2500 people per day to the install. We had to close for 2 days to restock the shelves.
I'll upload photos and videos as soon as I have a spare minute.
We will be releasing Lucy Sparrow original editions this week and a PDF will be available.
I hope if any of you are in NY you can come by and see the install and the gallery space.

re: Lucy Sparrow 8 Till Late NY solo show, by Unica on Jun 14, 2017 21:15:16 GMT 1, I stopped by last week while on a quick trip to NY, I definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting NY. I picked up an original and a couple of bottles of booze. It was highlight of my day in Chelsea.
